b) Application for Temporary Self-Employment:
This category would apply to foreign investors, among others. All applicants must be in the country legally, with proper visas and/or permits issued by the Immigration Department. They are required to produce proof of reasonably sufficient funds for their proposed venture (i.e.: local bank statement of account). Applicants must also obtain a reference from the relevant Ministry or Local Organization concerned with the category of work involved. In such situations, the six-month residency requirement is waived, and it is assumed that the venture will lead to creation of employment for nationals in the future
Is this something new or something old? Either way, I have never of it as alternative to the one year work permit or waiting the year and then applying for residency. If in fact it is real and current it might help a lot of people that want to try there hand in running a business enterprise in Belize.
This is nothing new. The Temporary Self-Employment Permit noted above is a work permit for one year.
You can get two types of "work permits" -
Working for somebody else - difficult.
Working for yourself - not so difficult.
"Work Permits" is what we casually call them, but they are also referred to as Temporary Employment Permits or Temporary Self-Employment Permits.
